Chapter 5
She didn’t finish reading the book, only skimming through it briefly. Besides Andrew, there was no
other character with the surname Tate mentioned throughout the story. Since there was no previous
mention of him, it was likely that he was just a passerby. As long as she didn’t get entangled with
the male lead, everything would be fine. As the situation escted, Milly’s parents could no longer
ignore it. They had no choice but to apologise to Andrew with forced smiles, attributing the conflict
to childish misunderstandings. They then requested that Stephanie apologize to Milly.
Unable to bring herself to apologise to someone she looked down upon in front of everyone,
Stephanie dragged her sister into the garden. Standing in the secluded corner of the garden,
Stephanie took a deep breath and reluctantly uttered, “Milly, I apologise for my ignorance. Please
forgive me.” Observing the privacy of the location, Milly couldn’t help but acknowledge Stephanie’s
concern for her reputation. However, she found it excessive for Stephanie to choose such a
secluded spot for an apology. But if I don’t do something here, it would be a waste. After all, she did
take the time to pick a nice spot like this. Heh. Without hesitation, Milly raised her hand and
delivered a firm p to Stephanie’s right cheek. “Stephanie, this p is for falsely using me!”
Before Stephanie could react, another pnded on her left cheek. “And this p is for your
deceitful and ungrateful actions!” Recalling how Stephanie had colluded with apetitor and fled
abroad with the family’s money, Milly feltpelled to take action. Although she was not inclined
towards violence, Milly couldn’t bear the resemnce between Olivia and her own, especially
considering the tragic fate described in the book. Frozen in shock, Stephanie suddenly lunged
forward, attempting to bite Milly. “You viin!
How dare you strike me! I’ll make you pay! Ahh, you viin!” Despite her slender frame, Milly’s
acting training had equipped her with self-defence skills. She swiftly immobilised Stephanie and
issued a stern warning, “If you wish to remain part of the Buts, you must rid yourself of these
malicious intentions. Otherwise, I won’t hesitate to … send you to the other side.” Her eyes were
red, filled with a demon’s cruelty. With a menacing re, Milly instilled fear in Stephanie, causing
her to tremble in ce. Pushing her away, Milly retrieved a wet tissue from her pocket and cleaned
her hands meticulously, repulsed by the encounter. Gods, she is filthy. In the southeast corner of the
garden, a man observed the scene with amusement, a hint of mischief dancing in his eyes. The
ruthless demeanour of the woman reminded him of his own. Someone was on the phone, urging,
“Master George, are you here yet? The general is throwing another tantrum.” Interrupted by an
urgent call, the man, George, refocused his attention. “I’ll be there shortly.” Meanwhile, Stephanie,
after the confrontation, fled in distress, presumably seeking sce indoors. Unfazed by the
commotion, Milly remainedposed. Disposing of the wet tissue, she locked eyes with a
mysterious figure, sensing his silent observation. Milly frowned. She knew this man must’ve seen
her p Stephanie. In response, Milly subtly gestured a threat, warning him of the consequences.
Regardless of the man’s expression in front of her, she turned and walked into the hall. George’s
dark eyes flickered with intense yfulness. Unable to hold back, a smile crept onto his lips. Did
she threaten me? …
As soon as Milly entered the door, she saw Stephanie crying loudly while hugging Olivia and Carlos,
“Dad, Mom, Milly hit me.” She sobbed. “It hurts so much … ” “Crying over a little injury? That is
udylike. I got shot three times in my leg, and I never made a sound!” Andrew said it proudly.
“Well … ” At this moment, even Stephanie’s parents didn’t dare speak tofort her. After Andrew
finished speaking, he looked in a certain direction, suddenly snorted arrogantly, and tapped the floor
with his cane. “You brat,e here!” A man in a dignified suit walked up to Andrew. “Grandpa, you
said you weren’t feeling well? Do you need to go to the hospital?” Milly was confused. Wait, why
does this man look so familiar? Isn’t he the one I just saw in the garden? Milly felt her head buzz for
a moment! Oh no, the delicate and gentle image I established in front of Andrew is now discovered
to be fake by his grandson! Andrew suddenly waved at Milly.
“Girl,e here.” Milly took a deep breath, forced a smile, and walked up. “Andrew.” George raised
an eyebrow. She’s a lot more refined than she was in the garden. Like a cat that’s retracted its
ws. “George, didn’t you say you had a childhood betrothal with the Buts’ daughter before?
This is your fiancée, so you two should get to know each other.” George was silent. Milly was
speechless. Everyone couldn’t believe what they were hearing. George looked expressionless at
Andrew. “Grandpa, howe I don’t know about this?”N?velDrama.Org owns this.
Even Milly’s parents were confused. “Andrew, is there a mistake in this?” Andrew snorted, “Do you
think I’d deceive you guys? It was over ten years ago when Philip lost while ying chess, and he
ended up betting his granddaughter on our family. Hmph, what’s the matter? Still not willing to admit
it?” They bet on chess? Is that even possible? “Well … ” Carlos and Olivia exchanged a nce,
both showing disbelief in their eyes. Andrew and Philip wererades, often ying chess
together, and betting was indeedmon, but this particr bet was something they had never
heard of before. Moreover, Philip was currently receiving treatment in a foreign hospital, so there
was no way to verify it. George stood with his hands in his pockets, looking mischievously at Milly,
“Grandpa, I feel like Ms. But doesn’t seem very happy about this marriage, she looks reluctant.”
He had a smile on his lips, and his eyebrows were raised … Milly thought he was annoying. Milly
felt an itch in her teeth. This guy is doing it on purpose! Olivia looked at Milly with a worried
expression. “Milly, do you agree to this marriage?” i
